Looks very sharp. I've been thinking of doing the same. Where did you buy the parts from?

Paragon but is made by another company “ Maxton” if I am not mistaken. Watched a few YouTube on installs and heard one guy mention Paragon modify’s it in a way that makes the install quicker I like it because it visually drops the body more and each part is chiseled rather than flat to accentuate the cars lines. I did choose not to pay 1k extra to have it painted carbon flash …

Sorry … on install, while I have installed my share of side skirts and splitters I do not have the assets ( lifts) to deal with the drilling and riveting necessary… took my guy 4 hours to do all 4 pieces , understand on a Z51 the side elements must also be removed. Hope this helps

Forgot to mention they have an option to this kit to add winglets to both front splitter as well as side skirts …. Not a fan of them ( just my opinion) and they add exposed screws to the look
